Abstract

The present application relates to methods for determining the proportion or quantity of DNA contributed by individual animals to a volume of milk collected from a plurality of individual animals, wherein the method employs allele sampling for DNA sequence polymorphisms in DNA extracted from a sample of the volume of milk by shallow whole genome sequencing (SWGS). The present methods are useful for example in detecting mastitis or subclinical mastitis in animals contributing milk to the volume of milk.
